FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. BiUer Cream. Among ... the important of bitter . causes cream we find the following condensed the the nLture pasture. an 'Th^ Th.s is a fiequent cause just now, when cows are fed in stubl le mrrweern? ragweed ragweed is is a(lisagiceablc, a Ifdp disagreeable, 8 ' .

Mildew, but especially Ssu^tfeVrm^C the red spotted mildew col'at which and appears in spots about the size of a split pea. This is caused by the 1 m pregnation of the cellar with spores of the mildew, and is very dlllicult to get rid of. The only way I have succeeded in doing it is by burning sulphur in'the cellar, which is kept tightly closed for a considerable time until the walls are saturated with it, and afterward by keeping the air dry by means of a box it of freshly-burned lime kept in until it is air slaked. Keeping the milk too long without the skimming, until the whey without separates, churning. and Thirty-six cream hours too long either, which is long enough for old makes the cream three days when it is churned. Imperfect cleaning of the milk pails, of the churn, and leav¬ trid ing curd in the seams or corners. and Pu¬ caseine has a bitter flavor very rapidly and communicates the appiopriating same to milk ! , cream, the cream I nearly the whole of it. Sometimes the addition of as much powdered saltpetre as will lie on a silver three cent piece, or about live grains to a six-quart pan of milk, will prevent the bitterness, and to , give the cow a dose of two drams a day . for a week will have the same effect. I ; have found two grams of salicylate of soda to four quarts of milk will prevent mold even in a musty cellar. But 1 am inclined of to think nine that at this season is the in \ cause It, times out of ten, j the feed, especially if it is aftermath or stubble grass. In this case the remedy is obvious. Plowlngqlu manure. 1 here wide difference of r • • is a opinion among farmers as to the best manuer of applying nmiure to (lie soil. It ia per haps unwise to think there is any best manner to do anything excepting for each especial case, and it is no doubt, by ignoring this possible truth that so mony diverse opinions are held because : each person considers the question from his own special point of view, f or this . reason it wid be ad v isable to narrow - down the present inquiry to the the simple : subject of applying manure to soil | for the fall grain crops, and to ask, is it better to plow it in as a preparation for seeding, umipriripd or later? There are farmers who me uuutciciea iirn.i upon tbit this point, nnint ■ smnP some prefer to plow m the manure and to mix it with the soil; others think it does the ; most good to spread it upon the young j grain after thc setting in of the winter. liven Even this uus bare uaro and ana simple simple question question ue de pends upon circumstances, doing for m would some cases one way of this work be preferable to the other i"s If for in stance, the land is poor, it undoubtedly better to plow in the manure and mix it as intimately as possible with the soil than to leave $he young plants to starve for want of the food, and to give it to them after most of them arc dead „, ld gone and a small portion of them only survive in a weak and distressed condition. It is thus seen that this question is an im portant one to consider just now, as the loss or safety of a crop may depend upon it. Ou the other hand, if the soil is fer tile and the farmer uses a liberal quantity of fertilizer it may be better to reserve the manure and to spread it in the win ter, when it w ill serve the double pur¬ pose of food and shelter to the young crop, eager after the winter is over to appropriate the food thus provided for it when the previous provision has been exhausted. In this case we bring on to bear the principle better of repeated fertiliza tion, which is in many cases than to use all the manure at one time which is when the plant cannot use it. As a rule, farmers have to provide for poor soil, rather than for a soil over 4 flowing with fertility, and for this reason \ maybe well to confine attention to the best of plowing in the manure for fall gram, because this manner of using obviously the right ^ it is and best one. The purpose and use of manure is to feed the plant; plants feed by their roots, roots spread through the soil in search of food, and the less effort they have to make in this search the better it is for the plant. The manure then should be mixed with the soil in the most intimate ^naascr. This £ b v g a the manur c evenly over the soil, ’eavim: no , lumps or bunches. The bind is i lieu turned over with lap furrows, laying the manure and the soil in sloping layers ‘ f the surface downward far the rom as u> p i ow has penetrated. Tb° r o u g h harrowing then mixes th 80 i] and the manure together and the roots of the young plants cannot fail to ^ f for or nd it. it. . food as Moreover, soon as the this ? b< thorough ‘» in to fora mix S* _ . ture of the soil and the manure operates |°,r dUC 5 r ?, pi '? deeornposition of the plan" “' f 0 chemical action of the decomposing man ure operates on the soil itself‘to make its mineral narticles soluble to a consider able extent. This reciprocative action j s more effective if lime be used • for the lime is very active in assisting in both these effects Thin it is seen hnw much better this practice of plowing in man ure is than reservin^it fora later season, and then scattering it on the surface - a method obviously better fitted for land abounding in fertility than for soil which urgently needs immediate help to feed the young growing crop.— New York Times.

Seasickness, in the main, is caused by the rapidly-varying pressure of blood on the brain, due to the upward and down¬ ward motion of the ship. As the ship the descends into the trough of the wave pressure increases; as she rises to the crest the pressure diminishes, and nausea is the natural and ordinary consequence of a sudden rush ot blood from the brain. Great relief may be obtained by lying on the side, with the head resting on the breast and the knees drawn up as near as possible to the chin. In this po¬ sition the variation in the pressure of blood on the brain is reduced to a mini¬ mum, and the stomach and its nerves in a great measure are protected from the vibrations of the ship.
